Building upon previous bibliometric studies, this analysis expands the dataset and refines analytical methods to offer deeper insights into spirituality in nursing education. Using bibliometric techniques with Scopus, VOSviewer, and R Studio, 1227 papers were analyzed to identify key author contributions, leading institutions, and international collaborations. A comprehensive co-word analysis of the top 100 most cited papers revealed evolving research dynamics, mapping at least 50 key terms through uni-gram, bi-gram, and tri-gram approaches. Based on keyword analysis and their frequency of appearance, a generalized theme emerged around the significance of spiritual care in healthcare. The findings emphasized spiritual care's significance, particularly in palliative and end-of-life care, with growing integration into nursing education. Research explored its impact on clinical practice, patient well-being, and nursing perceptions, as well as how academic training prepares students for spiritual care. Various studies examined its effects on patient outcomes, coping strategies, and assessment tools. Beyond spirituality, broader healthcare topics, including mental health and pediatric palliative care, were addressed. Challenges in nursing education and innovative teaching strategies were also explored. This study advances the bibliometric understanding of spirituality in nursing education by uncovering thematic shifts, strengthening research methodologies, and broadening the scope of analysis in spiritual and holistic care education.
基于以往的文献计量学研究，本分析扩展了数据集并完善了分析方法，以更深入地洞察护理教育中的精神性。使用Scopus、VOSviewer和R Studio等文献计量技术，对1227篇论文进行了分析，以确定关键作者贡献、领先机构和国际合作情况。对被引次数最多的100篇论文进行了全面的共词分析，揭示了不断演变的研究动态，通过单字、双字和三字方法映射了至少50个关键术语。基于关键词分析及其出现频率，围绕精神护理在医疗保健中的重要性出现了一个普遍主题。研究结果强调了精神护理的重要性，特别是在姑息治疗和临终关怀中，并且越来越多地融入护理教育。研究探讨了其对临床实践、患者福祉和护理认知的影响，以及学术培训如何使学生为精神护理做好准备。各种研究考察了其对患者结局、应对策略和评估工具的影响。除了精神性，还涉及了更广泛的医疗保健主题，包括心理健康和儿科姑息治疗。还探讨了护理教育中的挑战和创新教学策略。本研究通过揭示主题转变、强化研究方法以及拓宽精神和整体护理教育的分析范围，推进了对护理教育中精神性的文献计量学理解。
